Supplier Performance Evaluations & Relationship Management
Some organizations are tempted to either not evaluate their suppliers or are tempted to cut down on the follow up activity when performance is some what known as it is perceived as an unnecessary additional cost to the organization. Fact is suppliers all face risks, with environmental problems, defects or lack of materials, lack of cash flow etc. threatening the ability to deliver. It is impossible to reduce the risks to zero, but through continuously evaluating the performance of the supplier you can take sufficient action to keep the risks at bay. We at Procureaide believe that the evaluation process gives you dialogue with the suppliers that will allow you be aware of the potential risks and then manage them before a significant problem occurs , hence avoiding financial and reputational losses.
